InstanceEnumeration.GetEnumerator Method

Gets an IEnumerator interface used for iterating through the collection of Notification Services instance descriptions represented by the InstanceEnumeration object.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices (in microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetEnumerator As IEnumerator
public IEnumerator GetEnumerator ()
public:
virtual IEnumerator^ GetEnumerator () sealed
public final IEnumerator GetEnumerator ()
public final function GetEnumerator () : IEnumerator

Return Value

An IEnumerator interface for the InstanceEnumeration object.

Remarks

Use this method to return an IEnumerator interface that allows you to iterate through the Notification Services instance descriptions in an InstanceEnumeration object.

Example

The following examples show how to use an InstanceEnumeration object to iterate through a set of Notification Services instance descriptions. The GetEnumerator method makes the For Each and foreach statements possible:

'Create an InstanceEnumeration object.
Dim myInstanceEnumeration As New InstanceEnumeration()

'Iterate through the instance descriptions.
Dim instanceDescription As NSInstanceDescription
For Each instanceDescription In myInstanceEnumeration
    Console.WriteLine("Instance Name: {0}", _
    instanceDescription.InstanceName)
Next instanceDescription
//InstanceEnumeration.GetEnumerator Method sample

//Create an InstanceEnumeration object.
InstanceEnumeration myInstanceEnumeration = 
    new InstanceEnumeration();

//Iterate through the instance descriptions.
foreach (NSInstanceDescription instanceDescription 
    in myInstanceEnumeration)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Instance Name: {0}", 
        instanceDescription.InstanceName);
}

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
